JACKSON - Gov. Phil Bryant today issued a proclamation calling lawmakers into a special legislative session at 10 a.m. Thursday to authorize and fund the Mississippi Division of Medicaid.

Lawmakers adjourned the 2013 regular legislative session without passing certain laws that regulate the state agency responsible for running Medicaid and without providing that agency funding to pay for medical services received by Mississippi's Medicaid beneficiaries.
